About this episode

The episode discusses open marriage as a potential solution for new mothers, exploring relationship dynamics and personal experiences with polyamory.

Hello EICrew! In last week's In Conversation ep we discussed polyamory via the lens of one fairly public relationship- that of author Lindy West and her romantic triad. This week we're continuing the conversation (with more of your help) and discussing the idea of open marriage as a way to free up the time of new mums. Plus: "cool girl" relationship dynamics, our experience with the polyamorous lifestyle and a few cautionary tales. Let us know in the comments what you thought and if we missed anything out. Thanks so much! We *love* being in a poddycule with you all. O, R, B x Could Opening Your Marriage Lighten Your Mental Load? - The Cut How Does Her Divorce Make Us Feel - Everything Is Content Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
